How to improve your relationship with your child: be great parents!!!!

At the time when the child grows the gap between them and their parents lengthen in terms of bond and communication. It becomes important for the parents to bridge this to strengthen their relationship.

Ways in which methods of your parenting can be improved are:

1 . Prime time :

There is nothing more powerful than a deep conversation and it is only possible if you are ready to spend quality time with your young one. Spending time does not really mean taking your kids for extravagant restaurants a meaningful conversation while you’re driving your child to the school is more than enough.

2 . Prioritizing Family bond more than the wifi connection :

Turning off the music when your child is expressing something, turning the phone over or even peaceful conversations at the dining table keeping gadgets aside contribute a lot to healthy relationship between parent and child.

3. Welcoming emotions :

Being strong in terms of emotions at the same time allowing projection of emotions is what should be taken into account while bringing up the child. When the child expresses emotions without being hesitant that indicates that the child has the most faith and feels that he would be willingly accepted with these emotions if not out at least at home which is great.

Expression of emotions should be both ways, parents should not feel sceptical on expressing their love and concern that they have for their child.

Also accepting their ambitions and acknowledging their talents and interest relating to career paths is an important step to good parenting, CLICK HERE-> TO HELP YOUR CHILD SELECT A CAREER THAT MATCHES HIS INTEREST, APTITUDE AND PERSONALITY.

4 . Setting reasonable rules :

Setting rules that are not beyond the margin and yet rational is what should be done by each parent. We are currently living in the 21^st century and the parent must construct rules accordingly. At the time of bringing up the child, reasonability in terms giving the child adequate leverage at the same time knowing where to draw the line is to be considered.

5  . Reward over punishment :

Punishing your child maybe the quickest way to have things done your way but it affect negatively in the long run, in a way you are teaching your child to develop a negative dominant personality who chooses to be aggressive to have work done WHICH IS MORALLY WRONG .

Other way to bring up your child positively is to appreciate him for even his smallest achievements; the rewarding does not really have to be anything materialistic, phrases that would generate positive emotions in the child such as “ I am proud of you “ or “you make us so happy “ are nothing less than miracles for the child .

Being a parent can be really challenging sometimes keeping your own emotions aside and considering your child’s, is something you should be proud of.

It is really important to be composed, polite and stable as a person to become a parent who wants to see have his child such emotions too, you need to keep yourself positive and humble to see your child be so.

Believe it or not your kids secretly do idealise you, they may be hesitant to accept so but they really do thus think about this before being harsh to them.
